Life's story

After leaving Cuba for political reasons, I entered the United States and started
kindergarten. A few years later, with a Ph.D. in physics from an enormous state
university, I kicked around in the usual series of postdocs, both
here and abroad. My mobility has declined since discovering the Bay Area's charms
(e.g., sushi, earthquakes, left turn on red in Berkeley).

In case you don't recognize me, I'm in the blue baseball cap.
